Hi! Thanks for the review. When I made that picture I was an extremely new artist that was just really excited to make his first OC . I kinda reconstructed my OC from the ground up when I made a tumblr account for her. The back story looked really bad to me after thinking about it for a bit, so I decided to scrap the entire thing.
I realized that my first OC was much more of a experiment for future projects. However she really grew on me when I started the tumblr and even started gaining some awesome fans! I even started a prologue series so I can get a proper back story for her. I'll admit that the main reason I started a tumblr was so I can practice my art and have a little fun while doing it at first. Now the blog is something entirely different.
A lot of people had the same questions as you when I first started the blog. The answers to them can be found on my blog. I think it's really cool to have tons of interaction between your followers! It really adds to the RP element, and my OC grows into a stronger character with every update. Perhaps in the distant future, I'll have enough questions and updates so Ion could turn into a character I can be extremely proud of.
Here is the link to Ion's tumblr if you want to check it out:

Oh yeah the updates are slow since I'm still a beginner artist (about 4 months now!) but hopefully I'll get faster. I can definitely feel myself getting better after all this practice
